At least you didn't get threatened. We had someone transition overnight, and we all woke up to an extremely aggressive announcement that misgendering or deadnaming would result in immediate dismissal. No assumption that we might all behave decently and play along, or that mistakes might happen, but just immediate threats. It was a horrible feeling.

Wow, that’s awful. Things like this make me want to leave the company, but I’ve been there for years and really like my work and my immediate team. Though everyone on my team is also very TRA-positive. I know my boss at least suspects I lean towards being a “terf”. It’s frustrating to know I just have to keep my mouth shut. It gets harder as these sorts of things get closer to my immediate circle.
